My Shoe Store
January 16, 2007
In October I ordered shoes on line, and never rec'd. them. My Visa card was charged. I called the phone number on their website, but it never was answered, nor were my emails. My further frustration has been dealing with the credit card bank-Bofa--long hold times, then getting tossed off--unable to find the right department--more long hold times. Still have not resolved this charge. read full review »

See's Candies, Inc.
January 16, 2007
I was buying a box of chocolate lollypops at the same price of a box already made up. The price went up to $.60 from $.55 when sold separately. But seeing I eat one a day to keep my craving of chocolate to a minimum, I buy the whole box. Last time I paid $13.75 for the made up box, and today they wanted $18.75. I was aghast. If the price does not go down, I will have to look elsewhere for my craving habit. They were $.50 not too long ago. The price keeps going up. But my allowance doesn't and I am a senior, senior, so that is why I... read full review »

The Karat Patch Jewellers
January 15, 2007
A watch had its battery replaced. The back was broken. The jeweler, Frank Poissant owner of the Karat Patch refused to even discuss the damage to the watch. He was hostile, abusive, insulting and unprofessional. *** I brought a 1 year old designer digital watch (Diesel) in for a battery replacement. I had been to several watch repair places who said the replacement was too complicated for them to do. At the Karat Patch I explained that this watch was waterproof. The clerk accepted the repair, and replaced the battery. When... read full review »

Internet Research Associates aka GuestProfessor.com
January 14, 2007
On December 13, 2006, I signed on with an Internet company calling itself “Internet Research Associates” to write articles. The fellow with whom I had all contact went by the name of Clark Covington, whom I also believe has a pseudonym of Clark Venable. The pay for this work was very poor, $35 for 10 400-500 word articles, but I decided to do it short term to dust off and sharpen writing skills that had been largely dormant after an extended period of time doing medical and legal transcription. I am a freelance writer and... read full review »

IHOP
January 13, 2007
In the beginning of Jan 7 I have found a bunch of coupons for IHOP restaurant “Buy One Breakfast get one free” in our local newspaper. On 1/13/07, my husband and I decided to go to IHOP for a breakfast since we had the coupons and it seemed like a good deal. It is clearly stated in the coupon, to show it before ordering, and we did it. In response server said that we have to show it at the end when we pay. After having a breakfast my husband went to pay a bill to the cashier, and was rudely suggested to come back to the table and... read full review »

Dave's Gourmet Albacore - Santa Cruz, Ca
January 12, 2007
I ordered 30 cans of gourmet salmon and tuna from Dave's Albacore in Santa Cruz, Ca. When the box arrived (in perfect condition), and I opened it, I found 26 cans were dented. When I called to tell them and to ask for a re-shipment, they said, "We don't ship dented cans!" I was surprised at their tone, but calmly said, "Okay ..... but nevertheless, they are dented." They told me it was the fault of UPS - that the UPS man must have a man named "Larry" told me that the UPS workers re-packed them. He said they do... read full review »

I ordered a tshirt which was supposed to have personalization and a picture on it as a birthday gift. My shirt arrived with no personalization on it just the picture but according to my invoice and order, there was supposed to be personalization on the shirt. I called the company to let them know the situation and to have them replace the shirt.

Amazon Diet
January 12, 2007
The same thing happened to me as in the other e-mail. I ordered a product and returned it within the time to discontinue any more charges and they charged my account twice in September and October and I called seven times with no satisfaction just a run around with different numbers telling me to call another number. I have e-mailed them with copies of their fraudulent charges to no avail. They need to be put out of business. I will continue and contact the better business bureau. read full review »

Motherhood Maternity
January 12, 2007
Two days after Christmas I went into the Motherhood Maternity Store at Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, Georgia. I spent a little time browsing around and came a really cute dress on a clearance rack. The first one I picked up happened to be my size and the price tag said $12.99. I loved it and the price was right so I made a beeline to the dressing room to try it on and see how it looked. I was very excited that I had found something that fit well and at a great price so I took it up to the desk to pay. As the, I assume, manager began to... read full review »

Colorado Heart and Body Imaging

After almost 8 months of silence, Dr. James Ehrlich sent several e-mails threatening legal action instead of offering to resolve the problems I've explained. Of course, Dr. Ehrlich has no legal case because I talked about what happened and how badly they treated me! Dr. Ehrlich appears to follow this strategy: After his scanning center causes a patient pain and suffering, you and your staff blame the patient, then threaten to sue the patient for telling the truth about how they were treated! His December e-mails included false claim... read full review »

Pocono Fitness & Relaxations
January 11, 2007
This is a con operation. On 6th Oct 2006, they came to repair my treadmill, collected $185 and told me that they will come by to replace the part for which they collected the money. That was the last I heard from them. Phone calls are not returned. On threatening legal action they say that they have sent the part but cannot give any tracking details (saying that they have misplaced it). $185 is no big deal but just wanted to put this up so that no body else is cheated. read full review »

Walgreens.com
January 10, 2007
I put my prescription in on 12/14/06 in order to get 2006 rates on my insurance. Today is 1/9/07 and I still have not received it. I have had several people on the phone tell me it is in processing and it is on the way and I still am without my insulin. Because I have called so often Walgreen's has grown tired of my telephone calls and has put the fault on me. My insurance company will not do anything because they say Walgreen's is at fault. No one at Walgreen's seems to care that they have not dispensed my insulin and no one is trying to straighten out the problem. read full review »

Radio City - Rockettes Entertainment
January 9, 2007
This happened a few years ago, but people should still hear about it. After attending the Radio City Christmas show in Minneapolis, I e-mailed Radio City to ask whether they would forward a letter of appreciation to the performing Rockettes. A public relations staffer replied that yes, they would gladly address and forward the letters. To minimize their inconvenience, I enclosed a copy of the letter in 22 stamped and sealed envelopes, each with a printed Rockette addressee name taken from the Playbill.

Lindsay Large Pitted Olives

We live in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan and when we were recently in Green Bay, WI, we shopped at Sam's Club. We live approximately 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours away. When we got home and opened the shrink wrap the cans were punctured and open. There was no way to tell with the shrink wrap on. Seeing we live so far away it is not feasible to return the defective products. Please advise on what to do next. The product coed is 53800 61016, on the package, the product code on the receipt is 19465, 6 6oz olives. We would expect some kind of restitution for this.

I seriously doubt this situation is "news" to most people, but it did shock me! Tarrant, AL is a very small town, and I'm only aware of two grocery stores in the city. One is Southern Foods, and it is closing. They were having a Store Closing Sale, with everything 40 to 50% discounted. Okay, not happy they're closing, but might be a good chance to get some good deals. Well, nice sale. They have cereal "on sale" for $3.58. Its normal price is at least that price, if not less. They have a canned food item... read full review »

I heard that there is a bad complain regarding the way of how this company is managing their employees. Lately, I heard my friend indicating his dissatisfaction and disappointment upon his decision on working in this company. He is graduated from Diploma and found out that the salary scale was indeed almost the same scale as a SPM student working in the company. Here, he indicates that this salary scale have put him into a phobia whereas he is thinking what is the use of studying Diploma if the salary is very low at the scale of Rm6xx.xx.
